La Cala Carbón is a cove of about 60m. Of length and 15 m. Of width and that is next to another smaller cove. Here is a corner of great beauty framed by rocky cliffs and the waters have great transparency.
Very peaceful and beautiful place in a wonderful setting and very close to the hiking trails. The beach can get quite windy and the shore is very stony. An exceptional place to admire the volcanic coastline and the sea.
It is not a beach to lie down to sunbathe but it is very good for snorkeling or scuba diving as the rocky bottoms are totally transparent. This beach is also frequently frequented by kayaks.
